Rudenz (Giswil)
Rudenz is a district of the municipality of Giswil in the canton of Obwalden .
geography
Rudenz is the older part of the municipality of Giswil and is located in the southern municipality. Rudenz is not an administratively or politically delimited unit from Giswil, so the boundaries are not precisely defined. In the narrower sense, Rudenz consists of a closed built-up area. The now closed settlement around the northern district of Diechtersmatt has grown together with Rudenz and forms a village center in which the train station is also located. Aaried, bordering to the south, was created in 1761 when the Rudenzersee was drained and is mainly used as pastureland. The fisherman's hut below the church, restored in 2018, still reminds of the Rudenzersee.
Attractions
The Rudenz castle ruins are the former seat of the von Rudenz family. It is located between Brünigbahn and Brünigstrasse.
